SEW SPECIAL ‘17
Featuring Judy Kissinger
Saturday, October 14, at United Presbyterian Church, Peoria
Judy Kessinger started her career owning and operating a small retail fabric store in
Louisville, Kentucky. She traveled nationwide holding seminars for Hancock Fabrics for over
25 years.
She designed costumes for national and international figure skaters and created a fast
and easy way to conquer fitting problems for that field.
Judy’s next goal was to make stress-free sewing with simple solutions for fitting. Her
personal style included many relaxed, comfortable, well fitting outfits.
In her search for the “perfect” pattern, she decided to use her experience and create
the system herself. The Master Tops and Master Pants patterns were born! Once you FIT the
basic pattern, you can build and create an entire wardrobe on those two patterns.
Judy is known by many as the Fit Doctor, curing the ills of the sewing “blues”. Sewing is the easy part, but it’s the FITTING
that makes garments come alive and compliment the body instead of just covering it!
Her web site, www.fitnicesystem.com, has allowed her to expand into more teaching tools for her “sewing sisters” with
videos and online classes. Judy has been blessed to have touched the lives of countless women. She has taught them the tricks of
looking trim and feeling fantastic by simply fitting themselves properly.

ANTI-OUCH POUCH Anti-Ouch Pouches (AOPs) were designed by our chapter member Deon Maas. This underarm hanging pillow
is intended to add a little comfort to people’s lives during a stressful, painful time. The pillow hangs from the shoulder,
fitting snugly under the arm to cushion and ease the pressure of the underarm and breast area after breast surgery, upper
body surgeries or during radiation treatment.
Tens of thousands of anti-ouch pouches have been lovingly sewn and donated to breast centers across the United
States. The American Sewing Guild featured the Anti-Ouch Pouch as the 2008 National Community Service Project.
Read more at www.asg.org/?s=Anti+Ouch+Pouch.
This will continue to be an ongoing project for our chapter. We take them to the OSF Susan G Komen Center, Methodist
Diagnostic Center in Peoria and OSF in Galesburg. The digital mammography is catching so many more cases that our need has
increased. We would appreciate help making AOPs. Follow this link www.asg.org/files/community_service/Anti_Ouch_Pouch.pdf for
